Farewell 2013: A Challenging Year

Personal Notes: 2013 is almost over and 2014 is just waiting outside with its promising offers of great opportunities (to my exaggerated assumption) that it would give for its 365 days of tenure. To summarize the 2013 as an Indie self-publisher, I would say this year was a great one. I made my dream a reality by launching my novels Prince of Nepal, Asian Boy and John Rain: Rampage in Manila. My Synopsis Lounge blog was born also this year. Though I have a luggage of backlogs like setting up my own website, my Raf Radio on the Web and other big projects; but it's pretty sure that I would be able to do it when 2014 finally comes in. The biggest and ambitious dream to work out next year is the creation of a non-profit group that will build kiosk-type libraries in rural areas in the Philippines and enhance the values of reading and writing among the youths. Aspiring writers will also be encouraged to make their dreams come true. If these small but meaningful dreams would come true, lives of too many people would change.

NOW, I'm back to my regular blogging venture and found out this young author that I will be featuring for today's issue of Synopsis Lounge. He is my newest Facebook friend, a fellow author, who wrote this interesting book. He just published the very first part of his The Prophecy of Three: The Keys of Time. Sam Whitehouse's work belongs to the YA category and seems to be interesting to read. In fact, I will download the first one soon. And he is targeting to launch the second one before end of this month (what a great strategy). I might break my personal rules of running this blog; that I would concentrate on the synopses and not making a review. But well, now I'm considering to do rare reviews in the year 2014. 

When I read the synopsis of Mr. Whitehouse's book, I already had this urge to download it and read. Well, as I told you folks, try for this one. And all of us should take a journey altogether.

The Keys of Time (The Prophecy of Three)

Sam Whitehouse

Everything changed for Simon Falke the first time he fell through the fire... 

For as long as there has been Light, Dark has existed. And now the Dark is growing in power, wielded by the witch Morgana, who wants to eliminate the Light altogether. 

Two worlds, existing side by side, will collide. A prophecy foretold centuries ago is coming to pass. Three teenagers will discover untold power, drawn into a war they knew nothing about. They must embrace their new lives and hone their abilities, if they are to save two worlds. 

Read the first book in an epic new urban fantasy series that blends modern day with Arthurian myth and legend. 

Look out for book 2 of the Prophecy of Three, The Demon’s Hunt, coming December 21st 2013.

Good luck, Sam!
